A universal symbol of love and commitment, solitaire engagement rings are admired for their understated elegance and simplicity. The ideal setting to showcase superior diamonds, solitaires are time-honoured, classic engagement rings for capturing everlasting love.
Solitaire engagement rings feature a single, centred diamond with a simple band designed to amplify the size of the diamond. While Round Brilliant Cuts are the most commonly featured diamonds in solitaire engagement rings, fancy diamond cuts like Princess, Cushion, Emerald and Oval offer contemporary and often more affordable alternatives.
Minimalistic yet sophisticated, solitaire engagement rings are an unmistakable symbol of love and unity recognised the world over.
Claws, also called prongs, are the most popular diamond setting types for solitaire engagement rings.
When deciding between a 4-claw or 6-claw setting, both offer unique advantages. A 4-claw setting is often favoured for its sleek, minimalist design that allows more light to flood the stone - this can make the diamond appear larger and maximise its sparkle.
On the other hand, a 6-claw setting offers increased security, as the additional claws hold the diamond more securely in place, which is ideal for those leading active lifestyles. While it slightly covers more of the stone, the 6-claw design provides peace of mind without significantly diminishing the diamond’s sparkle.
For even greater security, the flared half-moon panels on both sides of a half-bezel set solitaire engagement ring provide added protection, making it ideal for active wearers and those with physically demanding occupations.
Ultimately, the choice between 4 claws, 6 claws or bezel-set solitaire engagement rings depends on the wearer’s preference for design and the importance placed on security versus visibility.
